This could be the next LOR or insert other trilogy.
Looks polished! Cant fucking wait. Will this be tbe series that actually depicts Frank Herberts vision?

I hope it can do right by the novel, one of the best books I've ever read.

Cautiously optimistic.

Don't like that a Pink Floyd cover is playing in the trailer. Doesn't feel right and I'm hoping that's for the trailer only and it's not just a soppy lyric filled action movie with all the nuance cut out. Visually it looks great though.

I agree with alot....movie still has promise. 

Soundtrack....a lost artform; virtually no recent movie comes to mind that has an awesome soundtrack. Previews? Is that a lost artform, too? Seems that they either show to much or everything thats cool. Hope its not like the Gunslinger/Dark Tower movie.

:werd:

How could Stephen King allow such a disgrace to be made?

The Dark Tower was one of the best stories I've ever read.

I saw the trailer to The Dark Tower and instantly knew it was a joke.

I have high hopes for this new Dune movie.

I thought his version had some cool aspects. But yeah fight choreography was not one of them. And Kyle MacLachlan just was not a great choice for the role.

I haven't seen the Hanna movie, but I really enjoyed the series "Hanna" on Amazon Prime.
I highly recommend it for fans of "action" genre.
And for me, the soundtrack was awesome.

My friend lent me the first one when i went to India - fell in love with it so much i managed to source and read the next 4 whilst travelling there :grin: (Which was no small feat)

A trilogy is the most they could ever do really, the massive leaps in time and imagination as the series progresses would be really hard to translate well.

I love the David Lynch film, and i'm sure i'll love these.

Here it is boys



Looks a but too corporate :sad: lacking the subtleties of Herbert's vision. But maybe that's just the trailer which is meant to get people to watch it and the film itself might be good.

Man, that looks CGI-ed to shit

I always envisioned Dune to be like the original Star Wars but R-rated

Do the books hold up over time?

Thought about trying to read them before the movie, but wasn't sure if they would feel dated (I know there are some newer ones).  There is also the issue of having like 10 books or something ridiculous.

Do yourself a favor and read the first two and then you can make up your own mind about it.  Really, I hope you enjoi it as much as I did.

It's in a universe where digital technology was all but prohibited so all innovation came along the analog path, and to an insane degree. I read them all at a casual pace over a year or two last decade and didn't feel like they were dated at all. Herbert has a good way of keeping descriptions of technology to a minimum and only using sci fi stuff if it aids the story.
